All you need is a case of post traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, billions of dollars and 10-12 years of training. Endangerment of a minor (Robin) is optional but helps, apparently.  Sounds like Bush’s plan for Iraq.  Batman’s story is fiction, too.

Batman – Scientific America

A scholarly look at the possibilities

If the new movie is no good you can always read this.  It’s the inspiration for almost all Batman media since 1986.  All of it.  You should be able to find a used copy pretty inexpensively at Amazon or whatnot.  Hollywood is still mining it’s gold in film and animation.  It should exceed all your Bat expectations.  Unless I hear applause from outside the movie theater, I plan to rent the DVD.

My qualifications for The Batman: I have insomnia, good intentions and have spent years chasing shadows.  I like black and am sort of a night person.  I scare easily as opposed to scare others. Sometimes I walk quietly without meaning to. Other than the billions I don’t want some of that other stuff.  So he still wins.  I might qualify for henchmen #2 .  If I knew someone.  Maybe.
